Networking
Much of the value in joining the
Foundation will be in the ability to share ideas and learn from
other nurses, managers and physician assistants across the
UK. The discussion forums are there for users to request help,
ideas on best-practice, share what's worked and what hasn't and to
foster a sense of identity nationwide.The discussion forums are
accessible on the top right of each page.
Consultation Involvement
The College responds to over a 100
such consultations each year that seek feedback on important
changes in general practice. Have your say as items are posted on
the discussion forums. By contributing to consultations the
College's responses will reflect and represent the whole of
UK general practice.
Library and Information Centre
Library stock includes a unique
reference collection of MD and PhD Theses from General Practice, an
international selection of primary care journals, and a loan
collection of College publications. The Library Catalogue contains
material that traces the evolution of General Practice and Primary
Care within the National Health Service, and contains many
articles, reports and books by Members of the College. More information on
Library services.
